Manufacturer: Winchester Type: Rifle Model: 290 Caliber: .22 LR Barrel Length: 20" Optics: Yes ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3309 Serial Number (S/N): B1231599 Reference Number (Ref #): 006 Notes: This rifle is a Winchester Model 290 semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The Model 290 was introduced as part of Winchester’s late-1960s economical rimfire line and is the detachable box-magazine counterpart to the tube-fed Model 190. Production period: The Winchester Model 290 was manufactured approximately from 1969 through 1972. Winchester rimfire serial numbers from this period do not encode a specific year of manufacture. Serial number B1231599 places this rifle within that production range, but a precise calendar year cannot be confirmed without factory documentation. The rifle is fitted with a 20.5-inch blued barrel and operates via a semi-automatic blowback action. It is designed to feed from a detachable 10-round box magazine; no magazine is included with this example. Sighting equipment consists of a factory hooded front sight and an adjustable rear sight. A scope is mounted to the receiver. The stock and forend are walnut with factory checkering. The rifle has an overall length of approximately 39 inches. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, typical factory 40-grain ammunition generally produces muzzle velocities around 1,250 feet per second, depending on ammunition selection. Condition is good. The rifle shows light handling wear with minor edge bluing loss and a few small marks on the stock consistent with normal use. The bore appears clean and bright, the action cycles smoothly, and the mounted scope has clear optics and holds zero.
